You don't see in the compiles, but IIRC ipath is unusable after the PAT rework. We've also been ripping out the ULP side of things that would let amso1100/ehca work in any meningful way with the kernel ULPs. The reason I lobbied to get rid of them is specifically because they don't work and maintaining them (ie the driver and the single-use ULP codepath side) is a huge pain. Keeping them around and keeping them compiling defeats the entire point. Just delete them, we don't need to wait for 4.6.
